[Users] Ovirt Node Automated Installation... full unattended installation?

Ok, reading the RHEV-H node automated installation, given the oVirt
documentation states the same automated installation parameters are
supported, I can't see to resolve one key issue.

 

First boot  of PXE configuration does an 'uninstall' to ensure no past
installation of oVirt node exists. this works 100% unattended.  However
using install or reinstall or local_boot (a.k.a. upgrade) or even firstboot
option, and even no option, on the APPEND command line via PXE, the
automated installation stops.  Waiting for interactive response?  Is this
the expected behavior?  Even just using init_storage and BOOTIF, the only
two required parameters, the automated process stops for interactive input?
So how do you do a completely automated installation with zero human
interactive action required?

 

Uninstall.  This works as expected.

 

KERNEL images/oVirt/2.5.5-0.1/vmlinuz0

APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=images/oVirt/2.5.5-0.1/initrd0.img
root=live:/ovirt-node-iso-2.5.5-0.1.fc17.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg
check rootflags=ro crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M elevator=deadline
uninstall

 

Install.  This does not work as expected, per how the documentation implies
it should?

 

KERNEL images/oVirt/2.5.5-0.1/vmlinuz0

APPEND rootflags=loop initrd=images/oVirt/2.5.5-0.1/initrd0.img
root=live:/ovirt-node-iso-2.5.5-0.1.fc17.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg
check rootflags=ro crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M elevator=deadline
rd_NO_LVM rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 storage_init=/dev/sda
BOOTIF=<FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF>
